6 Scheduling

To: Joshua Hart


From: Kate Stevens
Re: Next Week’s Schedule
Dear Joshua,
Next week is going to be busy, and I need your help to plan it. First, I need
to make sure that we schedule extra salespeople for Friday. Then, I’d like you
to set up an appointment for sales training. Make sure to ask everyone to RSVP
so we can prepare the materials in advance.
Next, please arrange the weekly sales meeting. We need to compare our sales for
the month to the goal we set. Make sure that you schedule it for a time that all
appointment salespeople can attend.
I want you to pencil in a day and time for our annual sales review. You will have to
determine which day will work the best, and expect changes. Sometimes finding
the appropriate day takes a while in order to accommodate everyone. The
schedule executive personnel are often out of the office on business trips.
Lastly, send apologies to Mr. Levens for my inability to attend his meeting
next week. If it is important that I be there, ask him if he can postpone it.
If he schedules it for the same time on Thursday, instead of Friday, I’ll
pencil in be able to go.
Thank you,
Ms. Stevens
